San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers here. I’m not the biggest fan of Landen Roupp and there’s no denying he’s had issues against this Dodger lineup which isn’t good news when this Giants lineup continues to have inconsistencies at the plate. I’m not the biggest fan of Sheehan’s game either, but he’s been dominant against the Giants in his career, and I think the Dodgers back him up enough to get the win here. Give me Los Angeles.
